The Green Vixen S3 with a Griffith engine in (Charlie Green who converted it to V8 had both and chose to put the V8 into the Vixen) ...is the ex Russ Hughes/Richard Carter car. and I think the Beige/Brown turbo is the ex Paul Edwards car. I think the Ex Steve Reid Turbo, TVR 365S in the row.

Yes, that was Steve's M turbo. The white M turbo with the blue band now has fuel injection and belongs to Stuart Morgan who used to run the turbo registry website. I am pretty sure the yellow M with the white wheels was a 2500M, it belonged to a lad called Tim who used to come down to some of the Burnley meetings from Kendal. I thought the Russ Hughes/Richard Carter V8 was originally a Tuscan V6? Whatever it was, it was bloody quick!Adrian@

Picture from 1980, my very first TVR. A one owner car at the time car purchased from John Brittan Garages in Barnet, later the TVR Centre. Think I still have the copy of Motor with the advert in it somewhere.
On SORN but would love to know if still alive.

I had a sneak preview of the entry for the Fordwater Trophy at this year's Revival and there are several Granturas - MkII's and III's including the one Mike Youles built for the 72nd Members Meeting
Also some relative rarities two G4s, a Tornado Talisman, a Sabre Six, a Gilbern 1800 and Alan Collett's Iso Rivolta IR300 plus the usual GTS11 regulars
Afraid I didn't get an entry for the Fordwater this year ..........but I am in the Whitsun Trophy ;-)

The owners of the car must have got the invite direct as the company I believe has closed up sadly
